Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points (-1,7) and (1,3)

Formula

m = (y2 = y1) / (x2 - x1)

y2 = 7

y1 = 3

x2 = - 1

x1 = 1

Solution

m = (7 - 3) / (-1 - 1)

m = 4 / - 2

m = - 2

Now use either one of the points to get b in y = mx + b

x = 1

y = 3

m = - 2

y = mx + b

3 = -2 (1) + b

3 = -2 + b

b = 3 + 2

b = 5

Equation: y = - 2x + 5

Second question.

y = -2 + 1

Think money. You have a dollar in your pocket, but you owe your mom 2 dollars. Where are you.

y = -2 + 1

y = - 1

when asked to factor the x^2 - 100, a student gives the answer (x -10) (x-10). what is wrong with this answer?

aalyn [17]

$x^2-100\\\\=x^2-10^2\\\\=(x+10)(x-10)\\\\\text{The difference of two squares formula is}~ a^2 -b^2 =(a+b)(a-b),\\\\\text{So, the student did not apply it properly}$

How do you solve this problem (2x+8)2=64

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If (2x+8)2 = 64, then I would solve it by making sure the numbers in the parentheses equal 32. This is because it would get multiplied by 2 after you find the answer and 32 x 2 is 64. So what times 2 is 24? 12. 12 x 2 is 24, plus 8 is 32, and multiply 32 by 2 and you get 64 :) I'm not the best at explaining btw ;-;

a 5th grade volleyball team scored 32 points in one game. of those points 2/8 were scored in the second half. how many points we

Degger [83]

Answer:

Number of points scored in the first half of the match is 24 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total point scored in the volleyball game = 32

Let us assume the points scored in the first half = m

and the point scored on the second half = 2/8 of (Total points)

= $\frac{2}{8} \times 32 = 8$

⇒ The number of points s cored in the second - half = 8 points

Now, Points in FIRST half+ Points in SECOND half= Total Points

⇒ m+ 8 = 32

or, m = 32 - 8 = 24

⇒ m = 24

Hence, the number of points scored in the first half is 24 points.
